Tainted Love

This is a cover of the Gloria Jones 1964 single done in the style of the 1981 hit by U.K. New Wave band Soft Cell. Manson released it in 2001 as part of the 'Not Another Teen Movie' soundtrack. It was later included on the album 'The Golden Age of Grotesque'. Manson's version proved a top 40 hit in multiple countries such as Denmark, Finland, France, and Germany.

[Verse 1] Sometimes, I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain you drive in the heart of me The love we share seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night [Chorus] Once, I ran to you, now I run from you This tainted love you've given I'll give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all [Post-Chorus] Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh) Tainted love [Verse 2] Now, I know I've got to run away I've got to get away You don't really want any more from me To make things right Need someone to hold you tight And you'll think love is to pray But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way [Chorus] Once, I ran to you, now I run from you This tainted love you've given I'll give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all [Post-Chorus] Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh) Tainted love [Bridge] Don't touch me, please I cannot stand the way you tease I love you, though you hurt me so Now, I'm gonna pack my things and go Touch me baby, tainted love Touch me baby, tainted love Touch me baby, tainted love Touch me baby, tainted love [Chorus] Once, I ran to you (I ran), now I run from you This tainted love you've given I'll give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all [Post-Chorus] Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh) Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh) Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh) Tainted love
